The Hezbollah Chief, on Friday, said that the Lebanese group carried out 670 operations against Israel over the past three months, Anadolu Agency reports.

“What is happening on the Lebanese-Israeli border is unprecedented since 1948,” Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised speech.

“The enemy (Israel) does not acknowledge either fatalities or injuries, and this is part of its policy of general secrecy regarding its losses since 8 October,” he added.

Border tensions have risen between Israel and Lebanon since the start of an Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip that has killed at least 22,600 people, following a cross-border attack by the Palestinian Resistance group, Hamas, on 7 October.

Tension has flared along the border amid intermittent exchange of fire between Israeli forces and the Lebanese group, Hezbollah, in the deadliest fighting since the two sides fought a full-scale war in 2006.
